That little information is actually enough to rule out the updated Xbox 360 dev kits revealed last month, since those come in Xbox-shaped cases. The source believes ("but did not have certain information," Develop disclaims) the new console will launch at the end of 2012, which would put it in direct competition with the Wii successor, and, if true, would make an E3 reveal seem likely (again, to compete with the new Nintendo console).

However, a Eurogamer source responded to this Develop article to note that a new Microsoft console probably won't be revealed at E3.

She had sulky graphics
She took her standard pose
As she presented herself
She had sultry games
She made it perfectly plain
That she was his for a price

But he said, leave me alone
I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse
Than my bite
He said, leave me alone
I'm a family man
But if you push me too far
I just might

She wore hurt surprise
As she rechecked her heat sink
To protect herself
Dropped her price and pride
She made it totally clear
That she was his for a night

But he said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse
Than my bite
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
But if you push me too far
I just might

She gave him her look
It would've worked
On any other man around
He looked her up and down
She knew he couldn't decide
If he should hold his ground

But he said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse
Than my bite
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
But if you push me too far
I just might

She turned, tossed her motion controller
Unlike her opening move
Her final exit line
He waited much too long
But by the time he got his courage up
She was gone

Then he screamed (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
And my bark
Is much worse than my bite
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
But if you push me too far
I just might

He said (leave me alone)
I'm a (family man)
And I don't think I want tonight
And he said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
But if you push me too far
I just might
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse
Than my bite
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
If you push me too far
I just might
He said (leave me alone)
I'm a family man
Leave me alone
'Cause I've got to go home

I'm interested, but, as Shin Johnpv said, there is no information to go on here.
I'll be amazed if Microsoft does announce or show this thing at this year's E3. Side note, I really don't want the next generation of consoles to come yet. I'm still quite happy with the 360.

I feel like they're probably working on it in a very liquid sort of pre-development state, but no one wants to nail down specs because no one is really sure what the next gen is going to be like yet or when it will happen. Nintendo showing their hand is going to be a big factor as to whether or not they move. If what they have is something amazing, we'll probably see a new Xbox by the end of 2012, but if it's not that exciting it might be another year after that.
